This Sharp Small Microwave Oven Is Compact Yet Powerful
October 16th, 2019
With crazy frenetic paced lives, microwaves have become more and more important in our daily lives. It is important to get a microwave that can handle all the different tasks we throw at it, not just re-heat a cup of coffee. The Sharp 800-Watt 4/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Microwave is perfect for a single person or a couple looking for a powerful machine in a small sleek package. This microwave defrosts meat and poultry by weight instead of just a time setting, taking the guess work out of perfect defrosting. There are 15 automatic settings at differing power levels depending on what you are cooking. There are 4 cooking options for popular foods for either servings.
There are also 6 reheat options that make it easy to perfectly heat popular foods like pizza, rolls, muffins, and beverages. The convenient Minute Plus button sets the oven on high for a minute. One of my favorite features of this microwave is the popcorn option. There is a sensor that monitors the popcorn to make sure it is popped to perfection without burning or a plethora of un popped kernels. This feature works regardless of the brand of popcorn or the size of the bag. This comfort or small microwave oven is easy to use, but fully loaded with great features. It looks good and doesn’t take up a lot of premium counter space. It is made by Sharp so it is high quality. If there is only 1 or 2 of you, this is a perfect little multitasking powerhouse.

Stearns Child’s Classic Boating Vest Is A Sturdy Youth Life Jacket
October 9th, 2019
Taking the family boat out on the lake is a great way to spend a hot summer afternoon. If you have little ones aboard, a life jacket is an essential safety device that ensures the afternoon passes by safely. Consider the Stearns Child’s Classic Boating Vest if you’re in the market for such a safety device. This life jacket is designed with small children in mind and can fit children with a weight range of thirty to fifty pounds. The vest is constructed out of nylon for durability and is crafted with open sides to ensure a child’s comfort. One inch webbing ensures the boating vest is secure and safe for your child or youth.
Also featured is a leg strap that makes sure the vest stays on the child and in place, even in the water. Best of all, the boating vest is approved by the Coast Guard. If there was one concern among customers providing reviews on Amazon, it would be that the sizing of the flotation device seems to vary. One customer felt the vests seemed too small for kids above thirty pounds, while another felt the vest would work best with children weighing in at forty to fifty pounds. All in all, reviews were very positive.

Melissa & Doug Cutting Food Box Is Imaginative Pretend Play Food
October 4th, 2019
The Melissa & Doug Cutting Food Box is a kitchen play set with imaginative mini chefs in mind. This pretend play set includes more than 30 pieces including 8 pieces of food constructed from heavy, durable wood, a wooden knife and a cutting board. This play set ever features the satisfying sound of a “Crunch!” when the food is sliced. Though this Melissa & Doug cutting food box receives 5 out of 5 stars from over 200 reviewers, a handful of reviewers gave it much lower ratings. The main complaint from those that give the product low ratings was that the pieces had an extremely strong odor of paint fumes.
The parents who mentioned this in their reviews found this fact coupled with the fact that the toy was made in China, unforgivable and unappetizing, especially given the recent press regarding the dangerous lead levels found in the paint coating toys imported from China. The Melissa & Doug Cutting Food Box is recommended for children ages 2 and up, but might be more appropriate for children slightly older who will be less likely to place the pieces in their mouths. This will eliminate the worry parents may have about the possibility of dangerous levels of lead in the paint.

The Berkley Fish Scale Offers Accurate Readings Up To 50 Pounds
October 2nd, 2019
Berkley’s Fifty Pound Digital Fish Scale sounds like it could belong in a seafood seller’s market stall or even a fishing boat. However, this nifty scale will do more than weigh fish, and can prove to be very handy to those traveling or engaging in selling items online. Berkley promises this scale to be accurate to within one-quarter of an ounce either way. This Berkley fish scale also boasts a tare function which lets you weigh more than one fish at a time and a memory of the past ten weights taken. It can also calculate settings for combined and average weights. An auto off switch, designed to help save battery life, and a retractable hook round out the features.
Even if you do not fish, this scale can prove valuable. Customers giving reviews on Amazon have found the scale useful for weighing luggage prior to travel, which can help avoid above-weight fees. Also, those participating in selling items online, such as for eBay, have also found the scale ideal for weighing packages prior to shipping. One common concern for customers is the short life batteries tend to have with this scale.

Given that humans are outnumbered on this planet by animals, bugs, and pests of all kind, it should come as no surprise that we are going to find them in our homes from time to time. While many of these pests, such as moths, may appear harmless at first glance they can actually be more than just an unwanted guest. Moths not only bring bacteria and viruses into our homes but they can destroy our foodstuffs. In order to combat these pests, Catchmaster developed the Food & Pantry Moth Trap. As a result of the health risks posed by moths and other pests, the Catchmaster Moth Trap was designed to effectively and safely attract and dispose of moths.
The trap contains natural pheromones that attract and destroy moths, working for up to three months at a time. The traps are non-toxic and once they have outlived their effectiveness can be easily disposed of. Catchmaster Pantry Moth Traps are effective at controlling the Indian Meal Moth, Tobacco Moth, Mediterranean Flour Moth, and Raisin Moth.
